Talking I was on Armour for a month. lol It sucked.

I was taking 100 of synthroid. I started getting hypo symptoms and everything again, so I got my Dr to put me on Armour. Started with 60mg for a week. Didn't work. So I went up to 120mg. I felt dizzy, total lethargic, practically dead, dead tired, slept atleast 15hrs a day and that wasn't even enough lol, was getting panic attacks so bad I thought I was going to have a heart attack...Went to the ER once. Eck it was horrible. Oh, but I did lose 3lbs but that was most likey because I was sleeping more then I was eating. ( I think my TSH was 52?, but I started skipping days at the end because when I didn't take it, I didn't have the panic attacks lol)


Now I'm back on Synthroid, 150mg** and I feel so normal, NOT one single hypo symptom!!! I feel great. Totally got my energy levels back!

So now its hard being normal again, especially around the holidays because this means I can totally eat whatever the heck I want and not gain a pound....LoL But instead of doing what I usually do, which is eating pizza and chocolate 50times a day cause I can.... .. I want to REALLY stick with exercising and low-carb since I have the ENERGY to do so, and since my metabolism is probably higher.... I should lose weight without a problem .

Hmm. I'm probably getting my hopes up to high and setting myself up for failure. I dunno, Ya think it will work?
